The Police Baton is a blunt weapon found in Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide. It can be given out as a Quest reward, found on killed Zombies, in Metal chests or sold by various Merchants.
Overview[]
One of the most capable, and universal, of the batons, the police baton is a well-rounded blunt melee weapon. With decent damage and a low stamina drain for decent durability but low force, it's an all-round universal weapon. The weapon has a fast swing speed to boot, which makes it useful for quickly engaging multiple enemies at once. It can easily deal with Infected with its high swing speed, something useful as Infected rarely appear alone, but can also be used to deal with multiple Walkers when they appear. In addition, they can quickly dispatch higher health enemies like the Butcher or Wrestler, especially when a good mod is installed, notably the unique mod to the batons the Bloody Mary Mod, where its high swing speed makes it more likely to score a critical hit and apply an effect of some description.
